“Very clean, nicely furnished cottage I can only recommend. Very good location stay was very pleasant..”

Mr Flachs, Birmingham, October 2014

“Loved the cottage which was situated in a lovely quiet lane. We chose this place because of it being near to Llangollen which was the main reason for our stay but the village of Selattyn was very nice and the local pub is well worth a visit .”

Mr Sutton, Wolverhampton, September 2014

“A great little cottage perfect for walking in the Welsh borders. It was well stocked with cooking utensils and cutlery . Would definitely recommend this cottage to anyone wanting to stay in the area.”
